| Obverse description | Central colorized design depicting a Japanese Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) in full flight with wings outstretched, rendered in white with distinctive red facial skin and legs, soaring above a colorized landscape representing Sadogashima Island with green vegetation, autumnal foliage, and a blue coastal background. The legend 日 本 国 (State of Japan) arcs across the upper field in Japanese characters, with 新潟県 (Niigata Prefecture) and NIIGATA inscribed to the right of the bird. The denomination 千 円 (1000 Yen) appears in two characters at the lower left and lower right of the field respectively. |
